Do it Yourself (DIY) Car Wrapping
Hello everybody, in this video you will see how I have applied the Carbon Fibre Wrap. However I’d like to begin saying that this is not my job and that it is the very first time that I try to apply a wrap over a car.
Enjoy the video...
Let’s start cleaning the surface …
Let’s take away the rear light …
Unscrew with a spanner N° 8 the two nuts with whom the rear light is fixed to the structure
Disconnect the connector
…here is a third nut
…and two other nuts under the fabric
In order to avoid to scratch the automotive body, we can put a paper ribbon on the part that will not be covered by the wrap
Let’s put back the rear light
And screw the three nuts that fix it
Connect the connector… reset again the automotive body
Oops …. While finishing the video I’ve discovered that I did not put on again the rear light’s back grrr
Therefore I’ll try now to put it on again and then I’ll screw the remaining three nuts… I’ll do it soon :-P
And once more … it’s DONE!!!!
I’ve to admit that I’m starting to like this

In this video series I want to share with you my first experience in applying the carbon effect film on my Alfa 156. The idea came after asking for quotes to some coachbuilders and since the cost of work exceeded 2000 € I decided to try it alone. I bought the film looking on ebay ... I chose the seller based on the need to have the film in different colors and at an acceptable price. I found the todomasequipment with a wide range of products and colors. With just under 300 € I bought the necessary to cover the whole car. The person who answered me was immediately available to help me choose the best film for my needs and give me valuable advice on how to install it.
The installation of the film was not complicated, it takes only a lot of patience, the longest work was certainly prepare the parts by removing and reassembling the accessories that should not be covered. For every point I covered, it took about an hour, a little more to cover the goalkeeper. Given their shape, the most complex part was certainly the bumper lining. If I can give you some advice, in case you decide to try to do the same job, start from the easiest parts, those that are more flat and wide as for example the bonnet, the roof and the doors ... this to accumulate a little of experience that will come in handy in the most difficult points. Definitely essential to use the hair dryer and paint remover, in the videos you can see how to use them, if you have any questions ... just do it: -) ...
I sincerely thank Mrs. Pina of todo mas equipment for her advice and Fabrizio for her invaluable help in the installation of the film and the hospitality in her box for work
